Do not keep toilet water in the car during summer. Toilet water contains 75% alcohol and 5% fragrance, making it highly flammable and easily ignited by open flames. Therefore, after applying toilet water, you must not immediately use open flames, such as lighting mosquito coils, smoking, or using open-flame stoves. Also, avoid direct sunlight exposure. Below are items that should not be kept in the car: 1. Flammable and explosive items: Never store them in the trunk, such as lighters, fireworks, etc. If the car's temperature rises too high or comes into contact with an ignition source, the consequences can be severe. Being caught by traffic police may also result in fines and demerit points; 2. Perfume: Perfume is chemically processed under specific conditions. In high temperatures, these chemical substances can easily volatilize and may even harm the human body. Additionally, direct sunlight can cause explosions; 3. Reading glasses: Reading glasses are convex lenses that can focus light. Prolonged focusing of light can lead to excessively high temperatures at the focal point, potentially damaging the car's plastic interior panels and even causing the vehicle to self-ignite.

Where is the rearview mirror heating switch located?

The rearview mirror heating control switch is located on: the electric rearview mirror adjustment combination switch; the air conditioning control panel. After pressing the button, the electric heating element behind the rearview mirror glass will quickly heat up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, usually between 35 to 60 degrees Celsius. Warm air will emerge from both left and right rearview mirrors, and the fog will gradually disappear, thereby achieving the effect of heating the mirror and removing fog and frost. In cases of particularly heavy rain, its effectiveness may decrease and the effect may not be very noticeable. Although the car rearview mirror heating function is practical, it is limited in some vehicle models. For example, the rearview mirror heating is set to work only when the ambient temperature is below 15 degrees Celsius.

What is the VSC warning light?

VSC stands for the Toyota Vehicle Stability Control system warning light. When the driver operates improperly or encounters abnormal road conditions, such as sudden turns, acceleration, or braking, the vehicle can quickly sense these situations and take corresponding braking measures, while alerting the driver with a warning light. This enhances the vehicle's handling safety and driving convenience. The VSC system can actively regulate the engine throttle to adjust engine speed and control the driving force and braking force of each wheel, thereby correcting oversteer and understeer. If this system's warning light stays on, it is recommended to visit a 4S dealership for computer diagnostics and repairs.

What are the reasons for the engine oil pressure warning light to illuminate?

Reasons for the engine oil pressure warning light to illuminate: 1. Insufficient oil quantity reduces the oil pump's output or causes air intake preventing oil delivery, leading to decreased oil pressure; 2. Overheating engine thins the oil, causing excessive leakage through clearances and resulting in pressure drop; 3. Damaged oil pump components, excessive wear, or improper assembly causing excessive clearances, leading to pump failure or insufficient oil delivery; 4. Improper clearance between crankshaft and bearings - too tight increases oil pressure, too loose decreases it; 5. Clogged oil filter or oil pickup screen reducing oil pressure; 6. Faulty or malfunctioning relief valve; 7. Incorrect oil selection; 8. Oil leaks or blockages in the oil passages.

Where is the hazard warning light switch?

The hazard warning light switch is located on the center console to the right of the steering wheel, although in some models it may be positioned at the lower part of the center console. Unlike other light switches that are often integrated together, the hazard warning light switch is distinctive as it stands alone. It is also easily identifiable by its prominent red triangle symbol. The full name of the hazard warning light is 'hazard warning flasher,' which serves as a signal light on the vehicle. Its primary purpose is to alert other drivers and pedestrians that the vehicle is experiencing a special situation, prompting them to yield or avoid it promptly. The hazard warning light should be used while driving when you need other vehicles to slow down or even stop to give way, and it is typically activated in such scenarios.

What's the reason for the clicking sound when turning the key but the car won't start?

The reasons for the clicking sound when turning the key but the car won't start: 1. The clicking sound is the working sound of the relay or the starter, indicating that the starter has responded but cannot drive the flywheel to rotate, resulting in failure to start the car; 2. It could be due to insufficient battery power, such as forgetting to turn off the headlights when parking or connecting too many external devices, which can drain the battery; 3. Insufficient voltage can also cause the car to make a clicking sound and fail to start. The reason for insufficient voltage may be that the battery is too old, leading to aging and reduced stored power, or listening to music or turning on the air conditioning when the car is not started.
